Analyst's Tip: "Cost Per Page" can Mislead

Is it true that printers' claimed cost per page are not judged on a standard scale? How am I supposed to find the best deal?

If you're looking at claimed cost per page as one of the factors in choosing a printer, keep in mind that the key word is "claimed." Except for monochrome lasers, there is no industry-wide standard for determining cost per page, and claims from different manufacturers simply aren't comparable to one another. But claimed costs can be useful when comparing models from the same manufacturer.
